Participants will benefit from three reviewers: either an external reviewer and 2 selected campus colleagues, or two external reviewers&nbsp; (if at least one is in close geographic reach) and one internal colleague, who will conduct close reads and convene with the author at Vassar for an intensive half-day discussion. Readers should be prepared to provide constructive written as well as face-to-face criticism to assist the author in developing final strategies for the work\u2019s improvement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a call for applications from faculty members on continuing contracts across the campus who have a manuscript that is near completion and would benefit from intensive peer review and comment. The awards will cover modest honoraria for reviewers to read the manuscript prior to arrival, plus cover the external reviewers\u2019 travel and overnight accommodation. The grant will also cover one group lunch and dinner with the reviewers during their visit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faculty should provide: &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1) a description of the project of no more than 600 words, including the state of&nbsp; completion of the manuscript in its current form and what the faculty member hopes to&nbsp; gain through the workshop;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2) timeline of project;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3) list of possible external and internal reviewers, with short rationales regarding why the&nbsp; applicant has selected particular reviewers;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4) proposed timing of the workshop, to take place sometime between May\u2019s commencement and late August (exceptions to this timing will be considered).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants in this program will be expected to take part in an informal assessment of how well the program worked for them.&nbsp;This is a rolling deadline.

Developmental editors help scholars bounce ideas around and hone those ideas into succinct kernels of prose. They can assist with things like crafting successful book proposals, targeting publisher placements,&nbsp; keeping to chapter-by-chapter schedules, and ultimately producing a strong manuscript.&nbsp; Line\/substantive editing generally entails helping to prepare an already written manuscript to send out. Often, professional editors are involved in an entire project, from the development stage through the line editing stage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Editors can also help faculty who must recraft work that requires revision and resubmission or that has been rejected, whether the work is in article- or book-length form. For example, they can assist with shortening a manuscript that has been accepted for publication on the condition that words or pages be considerably reduced.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our office has developed a short list of professional editors who have both come highly recommended by members of our faculty and have confirmed their willingness to consider projects from our faculty. We currently have a list of eleven editors, and our office can put faculty in contact with them. We also have an Editors of Color database. We are always interested in expanding our list and are open to additional editor recommendations from our faculty. Please contact me if you have any additional names.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To apply for this program, faculty should visit the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/offices.vassar.edu\/ltrc\/research-development\/faculty-research-development-programs\/professional-editing-program-awards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Faculty Director of Research Development page<\/a>, where they will find an application form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faculty will be asked to provide the following information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1) a description of the proposed project of 300- 600 words including, for example, &nbsp;whether the project is an article, a dissertation to book, a manuscript already well advanced, a manuscript requiring shortening or revision, or some other project, together with details about the content and form;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2) the stage of the project, if not already covered in the description;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3) the target audience;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4) the proposed time frame (i.e., 10 months from dissertation to manuscript).\u00a0There is a <strong>rolling deadline<\/strong> to apply for professional editing assistance.
